Black Magic paint.

I've seen the Racal Airstream helmets before Lawrence but they are expensive; I know I only have the one set of lungs so shouldn't begrudge spending on their safety but it's interesting to look at alternative clean air solutions. I have a proper respirator for when I'm paint spraying fitted with the correct cartridge; hot weather isn't a problem for me because it is so rare.

I found that when I was full time sawmilling that anything over my face was a positive danger, the dust seemed to manifest itself with nasal problems with me, I say dust, it could have been the red diesel I had to apply to the running band with a brush every minute or so.
Don't forget that if you homebrew some kind of mask that draws fresh air in from the outside that yer lips might turn blue in the winter and snowdrifts might pile up on yer chin.....just a thought.
